Tribune: Paul Ryan's early numbers worst since Dan Quayle

You know if Ryan's numbers are the worst since the naming of Dan Quayle as George HW Bush's running mate in 1988, then this may bode well for Romney/Ryan. Time can only tell:

Mitt Romney picking Paul D. Ryan as his running mate may have sparked
new interest in his campaign and invigorated the Republican base, but
more Americans than not have a less-than-stellar opinion of the
Wisconsin congressman.

A new USA Today/Gallup Poll found that 42% see Ryan as a “fair” or “poor” choice, compared with 39% who rate him as “pretty good” or “excellent.”

The only vice presidential nominee who has polled worse following an
introduction to the public is Dan Quayle, who in 1988 was seen as “fair”
or “poor” by 52% of Americans.

Seventeen percent of adults say that Ryan’s candidacy makes them more
likely to vote for Romney, slightly less than 18% of Americans who said the same for John McCain
following Sarah Palin’s vice presidential nomination in 2008.
Thirty-six percent of Republicans polled are more likely to vote for
Romney following the Ryan unveiling though, 6 points greater than the
Palin boost for McCain in 2008.
